Friend List
Enter the name of the person you want to register. If you are not regis-
tered as the other person's friend, the registration will be temporary.
(When the temporary friend registers you as a friend, the registration
becomes permanent and the other person's official name and Mii
are displayed.) If you are registered as the other
person’s friend, the other person’s
data from the friend card will be
received automatically, and they
will be registered as a friend.

the upper screen.
• You can tap on the lower screen to begin registering a friend.
• If the Mii character of one of your friends is replaced by a different Mii with the name “???,” the creator of your friend’s Mii
might have been added to the blocked-user list. For more information, see the built-in manual for Mii Maker available on the
HOME Menu after selecting the Mii Maker icon.
NOTE: Remember that other Nintendo 3DS users will see your greeting when interacting with them, so do not use
your real name or otherwise share any personal information in your greeting.
